Sin City (2005)
The Best Film of the new Century
After seeing Sin City the only word that I could use to describe it was brilliant. I was truly amazed about the visual effects and the way the colors in the movie were done, It made the film feel unique and gave it this touch of dramatic visual emotion. The acting was great from most of the actors and actresses with the exception of one or two. Bruce Willis was awesome and Mickey Rourke as Marv was the coolest character I have seen in a long time. The one actor that I didn't care for that much was Michael Madsen, I have come to the conclusion that he is not the best actor in the world. The way the film played out was a monument to the 1920's and 30's Crime movies only Sin City was about 100 times more violent, which in my opinion made the movie all that much better.
I have to say that Sin City truly is a city filled with nothing but sin, and while trying to not give away to much information I can tell you that I believe they tried to work into the film all seven of the deadly sins. The pure lack of any truly good characters in the movie may turn off some spectators, but if you don't enjoy a movie that doesn't have some moral code that it follows then you probably shouldn't go watch a movie called Sin City. One of the most memorable characters in the film and most disturbing was Kevin who was played by Elijah Wood, This character was probably the movies greatest representative of the meaning of sin.
Sin City is the first masterpiece of the new century. It is beyond anything that has come out in at least five years and is now in my eyes on the top ten list. Sin City is also the best comic book adaptation I have ever seen. I read one of his graphic novels right before I saw the film which should tell you that I was not aware of Frank Miller's work until this movie came out, and I have to say I think the just used the comics as a script. The Film would truly make any one who was a fan of Frank Miller the happiest person in the world, and I am not just talking about the visual effects. To say the least this movie mad me more then happy that is why I am giving it a 10/10.
Raptor Island (2004)
One of the worst Sci-Fi channel movies ever!!!
-MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS-
This movie was a horrible film by any standards, But what got me the most was how bad the special effects were. Now when I say bad I mean by today's standards, if the film was released 25 years ago it might have been received better. But still with a little help from my buddies I could have made the films digital effects three times better! other then that the film was still one of the worst films I ever saw Sci-Fi channel produce, (and they have made some bad ones). The raptors were funny to watch simply because when ever they would get hit with a bullet it would make a really unrealistic blood splat and then just disappear without a bullet hole or any mark at all. I believe in a couple scenes the raptors would actually ignore getting shot, which at that point the film turned into a comedy for me. However the film (at least to me) was so bad that it made it enjoyable to watch.
